I initially went to college right after high school and was unaware that I was dyslexic. I didn\u2019t know how my brain worked and I didn\u2019t know I needed accommodations. Now in my late 30s, I was bothered by the fact that I ran a business where I did dyslexia tutoring, but I didn\u2019t have a bachelor\u2019s degree. I felt really uncomfortable asking clients to trust me because I felt I didn\u2019t have enough education. Between having a business, a family and living in a rural area I knew online education was my only option. It has been great to have this opportunity to go to school on my schedule. For me, going back to school was something I had to do to prove to myself that I could do it. I also wanted to show the kids I work with that it can be done, disability or not.

I think it is something that will be a lifelong benefit in many ways.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;I had a lot of reasons to go back to school and finish my degree.
